The minutes dragged by and became an hour, then two.

The minutes and the hours had been dragging on, but now things started to move fast.

He found himself, as the minutes dragged, listening to his own voice.

On the first day, the minutes drag by in silence.

Minutes dragged by, and I saw him near the house on his stomach.

The minutes dragged by, and she heard nothing but silence from the other end.

Minutes dragged into a half hour but finally he turned from the phone, satisfied.

The minutes dragged by, and the waiting seemed to go on forever.

The minutes dragged between them then to the point where he became uncomfortable with her eyes on him.

Minutes dragged by, then I would look at the clock on the wall and wonder where the past hour went.
